Along with these great titles, Steam is offering 'Flash Sales', which are sales for great games that last for a limited amount of time. Valve has also added two other special things into the mix of the Holiday Sale as well. There are new trading cards called 'Snowglobe Cards', that allow you to craft them into special badges and earn special items for F2P games such as DotA 2 and Team Fortress 2. There are five ways to earn these unique cards. The five methods are listed below.

Craft a game badge.

Make a purchase.

Vote for the Community's Choice Flash Sale (This will be explained in the next paragraph).

Trade for them (Duh!).

Buy them from the Community Market.

The second surprise that Valve added is voting for the Community's Choice Flash Sale. Basically, each day Valve adds 3 new games to vote for, and after you vote three times (at different time periods) you get a Snowglobe Card!

How do you feel about the new sales? Are you going to pick up any of the games listed above? Drop a comment down below!

So, with that being said, hang onto your wallets because this sale might just clean them out entirely. Check Steam every day for new great sales and deals to appear on the dashboard. Happy Holidays GameSkinny!

Yeah, I just got myself a few games that were ridiculously cheap. Amnesia:The Dark Descent was on sale for $6.79 yesterday, and then they lowered it down to $3.99 today. If you're eyeing a game that's on sale, wait a few days and see if the price goes down.
